Venonat (Japanese: コンパン Kongpang) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
Biology
Venonat is an insectoid Pokémon with a spherical body covered in purple fur. The fur releases a toxic liquid and it spreads when shaken violently off their bodies. A pink pincer-like mouth with two teeth, stubby forepaws, and a pair of two-toed feet are visible through its fur. Its limbs are light tan. There is also a pair of white antennae sprouting from the top of its head. However, the most prominent feature on its face are its large, red compound eyes. Venonat's highly developed eyes act as radar units and can shoot powerful beams.
Venonat can be found in dense temperate forests, where it will sleep in the hole of a tree until nightfall. It sleeps throughout the day because the small insects it feeds on appear only at night. Both Venonat and its prey are attracted to bright lights.

Trivia
Origin
Venonat appears to be based on mites or ticks, which also have round bodies and use their pincer-like mouths to suck blood. It is also similar to fleas due to its large hind legs that it uses to hop around. It may also draw inspiration from venomous caterpillars such as the puss caterpillar due to its numerous long, stiff hairs and the fact that it evolves into a moth. Its large compound eyes function like radar and resemble parabolic reflectors.
Name origin
Venonat may be combination of venom and gnat.
Kongpang may be a combination of こんちゅう konchū and pang. It may also be a shortening of コンパウンド アイ compound eye.
